Dig Alert

Planning to dig on your property for an upcoming project? Underground Service Alert of Southern California (USA/SC) requests that anyone planning to dig should contact the regional notification center and input their information online at www.digalert.org for single address excavations, or dial 811 at least two (2) days before starting work.

This will ensure compliance with California Government Code Section 4216.9(a) which states: "No permit to excavate issued by any local agency, as defined in Section 4216, or any state agency, shall be valid unless the applicant has been provided an initial inquiry identification number by a regional notification center...." The goal of the USA/SC is the prevention of loss of life, injury, and/or property damage.
